You’re like a superhero Monday and Tuesday. You unzip your everyday clothes to reveal a whole new persona — maybe not new to you, but new to everyone else. You’re a daring person, but you’ve never had an excuse to step out in quite this way before. Wednesday and Thursday, you’re overwhelmed by a sense of double trouble: You want more than one thing simultaneously, or you want to proceed in two opposing directions simultaneously.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

What you have to say Monday and Tuesday is incredibly impressive. Wednesday and Thursday, use your intuition to determine who needs the bulk of your attention, then lay it on thick. They will repay

you with gratitude. Friday through Sunday, a string of success leads to justifiably surging confidence.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Monday and Tuesday are entirely within your control. There is more riding on your attitude than you realize. It may require more energy to keep everyone happy than it would to let things take their natural course, but this is no time to be a passenger. Relief comes Wednesday and Thursday in the shape of good friends.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

The problems swimming around in your head Monday and Tuesday are producing an annoying side effect: alienation from everyone else. Talk them through with someone you trust. The simple act of articulating yourself will make you feel less isolated. Wednesday and Thursday there is so much to do but not enough time. Friday through Sunday, you finally get some much-needed breathing room.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Steel your resolve to pay attention to small things Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday require fewer mental acrobatics. The most wonderful things in the world will present themselves to you; something you’ve long desired will casually fall into your lap. The less you try to control, the better. Friday through Sunday, a humble attitude toward others will diffuse tensions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You’re unable to penetrate the surface reality Monday and Tuesday — everyone is talking about how certain people look, what they’re wearing, what someone said. Harmless stuff, but when you’re not in the mood for it, it can make you vaguely nauseated. It makes perfect sense that you find yourself following your own path this week.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

You’re in a frame of mind that’s ripe for a stimulating conversation Monday and Tuesday. If you decide suddenly to uncharacteristically talk like a college professor, take your friends’ ribbing in stride. Wednesday and Thursday are oriented toward getting things done, but Friday through Sunday is a confusing mess.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

One thing that can be said about romance is that it can’t be predicted. In any case, a romance coming your way is a major confidence booster. But, predictably, it also leaves you feeling a tad sensitive Wednesday and Thursday. Friday through Sunday, a complex relationship with someone requires some creative thinking on your part. Follow your impulses.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Sometimes the more you know, the less you’re able to act. So consider it a blessing Monday and Tuesday that you’re a few facts short of the whole picture. Wednesday and Thursday, work is the last thing on your mind. All you want to do is clamp on a pair of headphones and disappear into music.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Try not to make things more complicated than they need to be Monday

and Tuesday, or you could end up in an abstract argument about irrelevant hypothetical details. The easy way is the right way. Wednesday and Thursday, minor situations graduate into bigger challenges without any doing on your part. Patience is the only solution.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

It’s not like you to be thinking so many steps ahead of your present situation. Just take things one at a time. Wednesday and Thursday, you find a pace more befitting your mood. Plus, you’re around people who know you very well, which is endlessly comforting. Friday through Sunday,

a brush with an authority figure leaves you wishing for a world full of smarter, happier people.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

You’re a volcano of thought Monday, when 50 to 100 great ideas occur to you in the course of the day. The trick is to remember as many as you can, because as you’re jotting one down on a piece of paper, three or four are floating away. Tuesday is equally inspired intellectually, but Wednesday and Thursday throw a wrench into your cerebral week.
